Re: Gameplay

Kree nodded getting out of it.  "Alright, it's your call." He said leading Alfred outside and back to his ship.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

As Kree led Alfred back outside and headed toward his ship, he would actually come to notice someone. There standing inside the entry way of his ship, with the ships engines running and ready for take off, stood what appeared to be a feminine figure.

She was wearing decently hefty robes, grey in color with a light red lining. Her fingertips barely visible from underneath the low hanging, wide open ended sleeves and all you could see at first under that hood was an evil little smile. What could be seen of her skin was dark, as in a light shade of black dark, just too dark to be considered grey. She looked quite young just from what could be seen, it was the smile of a well kept young adult on this girl.

"Well it certainly took you long enough Kree, but at least I got you here." Her voice was some what deep, in an inhuman kind of way, she certainly wasn't human, probably not even of this planet. With the voice though, Kree would match her up, voice, skin, even the robes, she was the alien race of that vessel in the cave. "Took quite some time to put this together, lining things up to make sure it was you who came here." She took a moment to turn her head toward Alfred. "Sorry Alfred, but you were nothing more than a pawn." Her words were apologetic in technicality, but her attitude seemed like she really didn't care all that much.

Alfred seemed to hug his things closer to him as if he could use them as some sort of shield. He was quite worried of what was going on and was haphazardly hiding behind Kree. "Least the information you get from my old vessel might be of use to you." She shrugs it off and looks back to Kree. She noticed he couldn't recognize her, to be expected with the hood, she was making sure any scans he does with that eye of his were picking up literally nothing. Her head took a mockingly sympathetic tilt. "Aww, what's the matter, Kree? Can't recognize me? Maybe this will help." She lifts up her head enough for her red pupil eyes to gleam at him, which didn't help Kree much at first. "I'm going to get pay back for what you did to my father." That's when it hit Kree. That contract he recalled earlier about a man he had to kill for a bounty for the illegal weapons, that man had a daughter who caught a glimps of what he did to her father and he just quickly made an escape from the situation with the bounty in tow.

As Kree listened he pieced it all together pretty quickly, after all you don't stay in this business long for being slow on the uptake. He noticed the ship was prepped and ready to go as well and when she mentioned payback he wasted no time. Kree activated Supercharged Cybernetic's and with the 200% increase to his mobility he sprinted forward towards his ship as fast as he could to get to it. Though he had a feeling he reacted to late. At the same time he would activate his Grappling hook module and tracking hook module and keep them ready.

[MaverickSenpai]

*Sigh* "Would the scan be affected in anyway if I torched the area in fire?"

*Kir'Thalos flies around the camp, looking for any alternate routes of action*

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

Kree activates his Supercharged Cybernetics Special for 20 Charges!
Kree Saban Charges: 100/80
Kree Saban gains 200% Str, End, Agl, & Mbl and auto-repairs 5%AL a turn as long as he can keep this active by spending 20%MP a turn!
+18AL! Kree Saban Armor Life:360/90

He makes a mad dash for his ship, making sure his grapple claw and tracking mark modules were installed. As he rushes towards his ship and the girl, the girl can't help but chuckle with her one sided smile. "Ohh, dear Kree, I see you haven't changed much. Still running first without a single word, just like before."

When he got to his ship and the girl, he would find that he would go right through them as if they were ghosts. Stopping in a bit of a surprise at first but looking back as he heard her laugh at his attempts. It quickly became clear why his cybernetic eyes scans were picking up nothing, the ship and her, were an illusion, they weren't really there.

The illusionary image would flicker and wave now, almost like a signal getting too weak. "I'm not stupid enough to take you head on, not after what I saw you do to my father. No, I want to mess with you first. Let's see how well you can find me and your precious ship. Oh but I do hope you don't leave poor Alfred to the dangers of the wilds." She said mockingly.

At this point the illusion would fade and with a quick glance around, Kree could spot his ship far off in the distance. Almost a spec in size from how far it was, flying off towards the west, over the Volcanic Ocean.

Alfred looked to Kree after it all, looking, rather worried. "Uh-Umm ... ermm .. w-what was that? You wouldn't actually ditch me here, right?" It was then Kree realized that the Ice Beings that were in the snow before, seemed like they came out of some sort of trans once that girl was far enough way, and were looking around irritably.

Rayven, take your turn ...

Maverick ...

Sakuro cringed a little. "Ah, there's no way to know for sure. It could, but without knowing what it is, I just can't know."

As Kir'Thalos circled the camp high above, the tribesmen took more and more notice, got more and more antsy. They were building up defenses, bringing out warriors, even a few mage looking types, looking like they were getting ready to take down a dragon. With all of them grouping together, coming from various tents and teepees and shaped huts and such, Kir'Thalos would take notice of a few things.

Most of the armed forces these people had were coming out of the east, south, and west sides of the campsite. Very few were coming from the north side and the few that were were mostly the mage types.
They also seemed to be getting their arms from two shaped huts. One from the northwest, one from the northeast sides of the encampment.
There was another shaped hut that were not touching or coming from on the southeast side.

Sakuro took note of them amassing and suggested. "Either way, we probably do not want to circle them for long. They appear to be, getting ready for us. I've not seen their magic before so I would rather we air on the side of caution and safety please."

"Yeah, for now we'll retreat from here. Set up somewhere distanced away enough to be safe, or, I guess safer than we are now."

*Kir'Thalos turns around and leaves the encampment, remembering where, in a general area it was, taking note of any landmark to use as a guide back*

[Raven]

Kree slides to a stop and watches his ship fly off in the distance. He angrily kicks the snow and ice before sighing. He looks back at Alfred. "No I wouldn't ditch you-Alfred run!" Kree says noticing the ice being begin to stir, and not in a good way. Damnit, she must have been doing something to suppress them until now. Kree quickly equip's his Bola Launcher and Net Launcher module's while he still had his Supercharged Cybernetic's active and he rushed towards Alfred. While doing this he open up a channel to the Drifter base. "Drifter base this is Kree I need an emergency teleport for me and a civilian right now!"

[Jojozityjo]

Maverick ...

Kir'Thalos flies them away from the encampment, finding a nice safe place to land and hideout for a while. Sakuro hops off and straightens himself up before looking to Kir'Thalos. "So what's the plan?"

Maverick pending ...

Rayven ...

Super Charged Cybernetics: -20%MP(-208MP)! Kree Sabans MP:1040/832

Alfred was relieved at first but then jumped at the stirring Ice Beings and Krees alarm. Kree switches his modules to his Bola and Net Launchers as he contacts Drifter Base for emergency transport. They were actually able to oblige and within a seconds, Kree and Alfred would find themselves in the transport room of the Drifter base on the transport pads. A moment later Adurtles voice would come over the coms as no one was currently in the room. "Is everything alright in there?"

Kree deactivates Super Charge Cybernetic's and breath's out with relief. "Yes we are fine, thank you Adurtle. Some Ice beings snuck up on us." He said and looked to Alfred. "Stay here a moment, i'm getting you back home." He says making his way to the computer to put the coordinates in himself.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

Kree lets Adurtle know the situation and Adurtle affirms his understanding. Kree then puts in the coordinates for the hotel Alfred was staying at and once he does, they use them to transport to just outside the hotel, since usually, by default, the transport does not permit teleporting into closed off rooms for safety purposes.

Alfred looks around, not quite use to being teleported around. "Whoa, uh, heh. Thank you Kree, for being an honorable man. Come on in, I'll get the data chip for you." With that, Alfred leads them inside and back to his room. Once in the room, Alfred lays down his pack and heads near a corner of the room. He reaches to the floor and pries open a floor board and pulls out a thumb drive looking thing. After sealing up the floor board he heads back to Kree and hands him the device. "Here you go, and, I'm sorry about your ship."

Taking a moment to scratch the back of his head, he speaks up to Kree before Kree can leave. "H-hey, um. I feel a little bad, for this, for causing this, so... with your permission of course, since that woman turned out to be, well, a villain. I think I could, get together a team and excavate that vessel. Perhaps gleam any information out of it that could be useful, or at the very least, retrofit it to fly again and be a functioning, personal sized, space vessel. Maybe it'll help you track down that woman, or chase her down, I dont know but, what do you think? or say?" He sounded very genuine in his words, like he felt, to some degree, at fault for what happened, and honestly wanted to help, to put his skills to any use he can to help Kree.

Kree grip's the device and put's it away for now. "I appreciate the thought.  Do what you want with it.  If you do find any info on it let me know.  Otherwise keep it, I plan on getting my ship back."  Kree then nods his head heading out the door.  "Stay outta trouble Alfred."  He says and makes his way outside requesting another beam up to the Drifter base.  When he came up he light's up a cigarette and makes his way inside pulling out the device.  "Job's done."

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

Kree bids Alfred farewell and heads back to the Drifter base, handing them the device from Alfred in the cockpit. Adurtle takes the device and begins working on it right away as Erozay nods to Kree. "Thank you very much Kree, you've done well. Here is your payment." She rewards him with 7000$ and Kree gains 1 Level! He now also has the Drifter Base 10% fixed up!

Kree nods to her.  "Of course, now if there is nothing else.  I have a ship to find."  He says as he makes his way to  free computer and attempts to track his ship, find any potential sightings of it near the Volcanic Ocean.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

Erozay wishes him luck in his endeavors as he uses a console in the lounge room to search up information. Sadly, narrowing his search to sightings over the volcanic ocean net him no returns. Of course that area is almost barren of civilized life, at least any life that is connected with the rest of the world.

[Raven]

Kree rubbed his chin, he knew that was a long shot but it didn't hurt to try.  He thought for a moment, there were only a handful of people that could give the info she needed to find him, know enough about him and steal his ship.  Kree looked up the info on his personal database to recall the info of those individuals so he could get a starting point.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

Kree looks through his personal database to refresh himself on who could have helped her here on Durin. There were three candidates that fit the bill.

The first was a Felineion who goes by Ergo the Fly, however Kree found his real name to be Felcher. A Felineion that started tribal, then went city, then found himself well versed in the underground society of life. Got his name by being well known for his stealthy skills and being such an unnoticeable character that he very often can get away with being "the fly on the wall" to most conversations, learning a lot of stuff this way. Most of the stuff he learned from Kree was through his own skill, partially against Kree's wishes but Kree was able to make deals with him to make up for it.

The second was Quarsa Sting, a Scapok handler and sometimes even a loan shark. A very suave yet agile and strong business man type for the underground. He very often has information on bounties and sometimes has bounties of his own. Also dabbles in dealing with arms and technology for most of the underground, either directly, or somehow has his fingers in the pie of others.

The third was a nomadic Mungarainion known as Nora. Usually a lone traveler that frequents the underground of societies, making sure she knew everyone she could and know how to deal with them. Often bringing in goods and information she found on her travels for sell. Of the three, she is the most honorable and kind hearted, although not adverse to doing the hard thing when she needs.

[Raven]

Kree thought for a moment, Ergo was the most likely of the three, and not to mention he could use Ergo's expertise so he figured that would be his best first stop. He recalled Ergo's usual hangout spot's and went to the teleporter going to his most popular spot lighting up a cigarette while he does.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

Ergo wasn't exactly the easiest to pin down. He is known to frequent several cities all in the Causco continent. Splinton, Veela, Causco city itself, the Jastros, even Valdo. Rarely he would visit Navindon. He also visits small settlements that arise between the cities, but the major cities are his priority for they are the sturdiest and the ones that have proven to last. Kree would have to go digging to get any recent location for Ergo.

Rayven pending ...

Still waiting for Jojozityjo, Maverick, & SirFroggo ...

Rayven pending ...

[Raven]

Kree chooses Splinton to go to first. As he beams down he heads for a place that Ergo visit's in the city to get some info.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

Kree transports to Splinton, a decently metropolitan area that has logging areas on several sides of it, despite the place being surrounded by forest. The forest was not dense though, just enough to be considered an actual forest. Most of the buildings were made of various stonework and wood, some of the buildings look like they've been rebuilt or reinforced a couple of times over the generations. It had a few paved roads as the main roads and any deviations were this specially smoothed, especially hard slate rock, decorated to look like cobblestone. Sidewalks were pretty much dirt or unpolished stone shaping depending on the area and/or wealth of the area.

The people of Splinton were of all sorts of races, you'd see unconventional ones as well, such as the rare elf here and there, sometimes you might even catch the sight of a fairy. This place certainly had some magic to aid its design as well as a common trading and passing community for travelers.

Kree would find his way to a lesser section of the city, where usually the poorer of people would frequent. In this place he'd find a nice pub/inn, nice for this area at least, a place called the Sunken Dragon with three floors visible on the outside. Inside the place looked, fairly nice and kept, classic tavern where the owner wanted to keep up decent appearance. It had waitresses dressed in oriental attire, which was, almost out of place for this city, almost like a China Town in New York kind of vibe. There were some musicians on a makeshift stand in a corner of the place and an orange scaled draconian barkeep.

This was a place Ergo frequented and it kept up appearances for the general public, but anyone with any underground knowledge would know this is a front. This place had an entrance to a shadier place for such activities if you said the right thing to the right people in charge.

[Raven]

Kree takes one last puff of smoke from his cigarette before walking in.  He made his way to the bar and the barkeep as he sat down at a stool.  Kree tap's his mechanical finger on the bar, a common term for i want to order something.  When the barkeep would come over he looked to them.  "Give me something strong...and..."  He says sliding a credit chip with about 500 credit's on it quietly to the barkeep.  "I'm looking for Ergo."  He said quietly to the barkeep not really wanting to draw any attention.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

The draconian barkeep smirks at his request and gets him a shot of something strong, something that hits even kree hard going down. He also pull out an access card, he did something to it but Krees passive perception wasn't high enough to tell what it was. The draconian hands Kree the card and says. "You'll want our executive rooms then, elevator to the third floor. Enjoy your stay." Kree could spell the draconians speech was a front, like a code.

[Raven]

Kree nods taking the shot and downing it gritting his teeth as he does, the burn feeling good for him.  He breaths out taking the card and nodding. "Much obliged." Kree gets up walking to the elevator and making his way to the third floor.

[Jojozityjo]

Rayven ...

When Kree put the access card into the elevator, a reading happened, which is normal for pass card usage in many devices, this one read different though. Again, Kree couldn't tell what this one did, far as he knew, it was just scanning the cards passcode.

None-the-less, the elevator started, but thanks to his perception, he could tell it wasn't going up, but down. It went down for what felt like multiple floors before coming to a stop and opening up into, at first, what looked like nothing more than more wood and stone work. However he would quickly see that it was a front for any cameras in the elevator. For after the tavern look alike frame work, it opened up, into a place of underground business work.

It was almost like a whole network, as far as the eye could see, with various tunnels and archways, clearly more than one way to get into and out of this place. This where all kinds of shady and even illegal business went down. He could see people getting shaken up for various reasons, merchants showing off questionable wares, be it their actual quality to questionably legal.

Taking a look around, he didn't notice Ergo, of course, this is what Ergo is good at. A careful search and scan might be required, or finding some of the people who run this place and questioning them. Maybe even some of the merchants or other common goers of the underground.

[Raven]

Kree glances around at everything happening, nothing new to him in his line of work.  He scanned the area for any signs of Ergo, and if nothing turned up he would go to a nearby merchant and ask for his whereabouts.
